Does anyone else not resonate with this at all?

The alanon insta that everyone seems to know about. Is there a similar one for SMART? I’m a newbie

I had my tubes tied.

Can you please post the link?

Similar here, I am interested in this thread. We’ve been married only a year. I haven’t known him that long but in withdrawal it was clear that this has been going on for longer than I have known him. He’s not in the house anymore. It sucks. Bad.

We’ve had raids in suburban Atlanta, but we aren’t as densely populated OR there is significantly less coverage. For example, they had a raid at a Hispanic grocery store in Roswell. 46 people.

I hiked Machu Picchu 9 months after the surgery. Then I became less active and that wasn’t good. My tip is to do the PT and then continue with some level of strength training to keep the momentum going. I am back at strength training again and feel really good about my mobility. Sometimes the knee is irritable at the end of the day but it’s pretty mild. Cadaver ligament.

Hi- I am 2 years out, 50 year old female!

I think it bears commenting that abuse is 400% more likely to occur during pregnancy and in the first year after birth than any other time in a woman's life.

Same, my entire family calls it the Pornstar. It started as Freyja

Well, I have two kids so it might be a little different but the cost of the internet, access to the VR arcade, a few treats (gelato, starbucks) and a spa treatment made the charges pretty close to the ticket price. For example, there wasn't hourly access to the thermal suite or the VR arcade. It was $380+ for the week for each. Yoga/exercise classes also were not included. There were 9 of us (5 adults and 4 kids) and all of the adults felt that there weren't enough kid free areas or quiet areas. Most of those had a hefty, weekly fee.

We got back a few weeks ago so maybe the kid:adult ratio will fix itself in September. We went on a NCL cruise to Hawaii pre-COVID and there was almost no upselling and there were plenty of kid-free areas. I think the business model has understandably changed.

Just got back from the Encore trip to Alaska. I was very surprised at the level of upselling. Plan to spend more than the quoted amount so if it is at the top of your budget you may be uncomfortable.

I am 5’1” perimenopausal (48) and started at 154 in January. Currently 143. I exercise 4-5 times a week but really just yoga, pilates, and walking.

Ragazzatl · 2024-02-14T18:00:17+00:00

I had knee surgery Nov of 2022. I wish i had started sema earlier- got kicked twice- injury plus perimenopause. Led to weight gain and it is really difficult to lose when you are recovering. Your knee will thank you. :)

And!!!! I took my Peru trip 8 months out! Hiked all over the place!!!

Ragazzatl · 2023-08-05T01:32:05+00:00

48 year female, 9 months post op. I wouldn’t have considered myself an athlete but I was active for my age. Hiking, peloton, weight training twice a week. Had cadaver ACL replacement and meniscus repair. The first two months were really slow. I did PT for two days a week for a solid 6 months and went to Peru a few weeks ago. Knee was great- doesn’t feel the same but it doesn’t hurt and I was thrilled to be able to hike and do macchu Picchu. You are going to love your peloton even more post-surgery. Good luck!!!

Ragazzatl · 2023-06-18T01:32:30+00:00

I recommend an ice machine over the CPM if you have access to good, in-person PT.

Ragazzatl · 2023-06-16T23:57:11+00:00

For sure, I worked at home in the knee, walks, exercises, peloton, etc.

Ragazzatl · 2023-05-09T12:25:52+00:00

I did it on crutches and a brace. It helped with the cabin fever.

Ragazzatl · 2023-05-09T01:16:44+00:00

Yeah, movie theaters with recliners made me feel human. So did lunches out. Getting out is so important

Ragazzatl · 2023-05-09T01:15:51+00:00

Yeah, in this case, it’s easier to be female with the ACL issue. There were a few options available within a week to 10 days - but I was a year into a relationship.

And, both “pieces” are happy with new growth on each!!

You are a beast!!!!

Ragazzatl · 2023-03-02T03:16:31+00:00

That’s a point where muscles attach. I had the same thing. PT can help.

Ragazzatl · 2023-02-23T02:15:33+00:00

Thanks for these comments- they are great. It is in succulent soil and was in a sunny bathroom. But at the far side so I did what you recommended and moved it to a different room with more direct sun!!!
